Hey Y'all! Samson Folk and I decided to start our own podcast after having such great conversations on the Raptors Republic one that he hosts. He's a good friend and a great writer with a wonderful basketball mind. Here we do a deep dive into Dallas. It was MESMERIZING watching film for the Mavs because Luka Doncic is a magician. To me, Luka is the best basketball player on any of the 7 teams we covered on our preview pods. It was an absolute pleasure watching Doncic do his thing. Rick Carlisle is a coach's dream to study. How Carlisle carefully crafts a high-level offense regardless of roster construction year in and year out is amazing. Just about all the NBA game film were things I cut up but Samson was the one who edited all this together (including making those graphics) so if there are any props to be handed out, please direct them accordingly. Samson really knows his stuff and that's why I love talking hoops with him. You can reach him on Twitter @samfolkk and you can view his stuff for Raptors Republic here: https://www.raptorsrepublic.com/author/sam/ Here’s Samson’s Minute Basketball piece about Hips: https://minutebasketball.substack.com/p/minute-basketball-hips This concludes our 7 team previews.
